Download or read book Crop Evolution Adaptation and Yield written by L. T. Evans and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-05-02 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major 1993 work, Lloyd Evans provides an integrated view of the domestication, adaptation and improvement of crop plants, bringing together genetic diversity, plant breeding, physiology and aspects of agronomy. Considerations of yield and maximum yield provide continuity throughout the book. Food, feed, fibre, fuel and pharmaceutical crops are all discussed. Cereals, grain legumes and root crops, both temperate and tropical, provide many of the examples, but pasture plants, oilseeds, leafy crops, fruit trees and others are also considered. After the introductory chapter, the increasing significance of crop yields to the world's food supply is highlighted. The next three chapters consider changes to crop plants over the last ten thousand years, including domestication, adaptation and improvement. Aimed at research workers and advanced students in crop physiology and ecology, agronomy and plant breeding, this book also reaches conclusions of relevance to those concerned with developmental policy, agricultural research and management, environmental quality, resource depletion and human history.
Download or read book World Agricultural Production Corn Harvest in Eastern China written by U.s. Department of Agriculture and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's 2014/15 corn production is estimated at 214.0 million tons, down 3.0 million tons or 1.0 percent from last month and down 4.5 million tons or 2.0 percent from last year's record crop. Area is estimated at 36.8 million hectares, surpassing last year's record by 1.0 percent. Area has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, particularly in Northeast China, as farmers have switched to corn from less profitable crops such as soybeans. Yield is estimated at 5.82 tons per hectare, down 1 percent from last month and down 3.4 percent from last year's record. The revision is based on information from crop models and satellite imagery, and reports from local government and industry sources. A serious drought developed in July and August in parts of Northeast China and the North China Plain. At its peak in late August, the drought affected approximately 5 million hectares of crops (mostly corn) in the critical reproductive/filling stage. Sharply lower yields have been reported in some of the drought-impacted areas, particularly in Henan and Liaoning provinces.
Download or read book Prospects for China s Corn Yield Growth and Imports written by Fred Gale and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors, who traveled to China in September 2012 to investigate corn production and trade, show that Chinese corn yields are growing, but at a slower pace than U.S. yields. Chinese corn yield growth is most evident in the North China Plain region. The Northeast region is expected to account for most of China's increase in corn supply, but yield growth is weaker in that region. Extrapolating historical trends into the future suggests that China's consumption of corn will outpace growth in domestic supply. Imports from the United States and other countries are likely to fill China's corn deficit. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book Agricultural Trade and Policy in China written by Scott D. Rozelle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. This prominent and commanding volume collates the best research available on China's agricultural trade. Critically analyzing the agricultural supply and demand factors that underlie trade patterns such as agricultural productivity and policy, it also explores China's agricultural trade and policy including implications for China and elsewhere. Long term issues and productivity growth are taken into consideration, as are specific issues such as WTO accession. The slate of authors combines the leading established scholars in the field and the best of the next generation, including those from China and the West.

This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes potential yields of six major food crops - rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed worldwide using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to study both China’s and global food security under climate change. Firstly, it reviews previous studies on potential yields of rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed worldwide to provide a detailed information of studying on China’s and global food security based on the product’s supply and demand of these crops. Secondly, average and top (national) yields of rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed since 1961 on global scale are employed to analyze their temporal and spatial variation trends and potential limits. Thirdly, the effects of global warming in climate change on both average and top yields of rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed since 1961 at global level are analyzed using regression model, and their differences between average and top yields among these crops are identified and compared. Fourthly, the yields and per capita quantity of rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed in major producer-countries and the world are analyzed to assess the situation and trend of international trade for the products of these crops, respectively. Fifthly, potential yields of rice, wheat, maize, potato, soybean and rapeseed worldwide by 2030 are projected using both trend-regressed models and ARIMA models to estimate the per capita quantity of these crops based on the projection of world population and assess the status of Chinese and global food security in that future. Finally, it provides policy implications and advice on food security for China and the world directing food production by 2030 under climate change.
